Here you will also find some other classic apps, such as WordPad, classic Calculator, Sticky Notes, and more.
Starting in Windows 8, the OS comes without the classic Windows 7 games. They are no longer included with Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. Here is a Windows 7 Games package which solves this issue. This Windows 7 Games package is compatible with all builds of Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.
It includes the following software:
For more details on how to install and use the games, check out this tutorial.
The package has been updated to version 3.1. It now supports Windows 11 and fixes the error "Error opening file for writing: C:\Windows\System32\en-US\cmncliM.dll.mui". The non-working Game Explorer will no longer be installed. The installer now supports HiDPI displays. Finally, the Internet Games set is now optional, since Microsoft has turned off the game servers, making it nearly impossible to play them.
The support for older Windows version, i.e. Windows 8.1/8 and Windows 10, remains intact. You can use this new version of the package on older Windows versions too.
The package can be installed in unattend mode. Use the /S command argument, where S is capitalized. Windows7Games_for_Windows_11_10_8.exe /S.
Games support the complete set of MUI (language packs), so they will run in your native language. The following languages are supported.
ar-SA, bg-BG, cs-CZ, da-DK, de-DE, el-GR, en-US, es-ES, et-EE, fi-FI, fr-FR, he-IL, hr-HR, hu-HU, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, lt-LT, lv-LV, nb-NO, nl-NL, pl-PL, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro-RO, ru-RU, sk-SK, sl-SI, sr-Latn-CS, sv-SE, th-TH, tr-TR, uk-UA, zh-CN, zh-TW

Microsoft has removed the classic calculator app starting in Windows 10 and replaced it with a new UWP app that receives updates from the Store. Many people aren't happy with this change. The classic app loaded faster, and was more useful for mouse and keyboard users. Here you can get the classic calculator back in Windows 11 and Windows 10.
This package supports Windows 11 and Windows 10 (both Windows 10 32-bit and Windows 10 64-bit).
The Calculator app will be revived completely, e.g. you will be able to launch it as "calc.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar search box or from Cortana. It will have the same interface language as your operating system. If you will decide to revert to the Modern Calculator app, just uninstall the "Old Classic Calculator" app from the Settings -> Apps - > Apps & features.
It comes with almost the full set of MUI files, so it will be in your native language out-of-the-box. The following locale list is supported: ar-sa, bg-bg, cs-cz, da-dk, de-de, el-gr, en-gb, en-us, es-es, es-mx, et-ee, fi-fi, fr-ca, fr-fr, he-il, hr-hr, hu-hu, it-it, ja-jp, ko-kr, lt-lt, lv-lv, nb-no, nl-nl, pl-pl, pt-br, pt-pt, ro-ro, ru-ru, sk-sk, sl-si, sr-latn-rs, sv-se, th-th, tr-tr, uk-ua, zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-tw.
Starting with Windows 11 Build 26020, Microsoft has removed the classic WordPad editor from clean installs, and then removed it from existing installations with an update. So the app has gone and can't be reintalled from any official source. Microsoft has deprecated it and instists on using Word and Notepad instead of WordPad.
Here's the package that restores WordPad in Windows 11. It is built of genuine files that aren't tampered with. It will bring back the editor to your Start menu, and can also create a desktop shortcut if you want it.
This package supports Windows 11, and containts both 32-bit and 64-bit files.
The WordPad app will have two its classic commands, e.g. you will be able to launch it as "write.exe" and "wordpad.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar search. It will have the same interface language as your operating system, as it comes with MUI resources. Finally, it supports an uninstaller, so you can uninstall this WordPad app from the Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
It comes with almost the full set of MUI files, so it will be in your native language out-of-the-box. The following locale list is supported: ar-sa, bg-bg, cs-cz, da-dk, de-de, el-gr, en-gb, en-us, es-es, es-mx, et-ee, fi-fi, fr-ca, fr-fr, he-il, hr-hr, hu-hu, it-it, ja-jp, ko-kr, lt-lt, lv-lv, nb-no, nl-nl, pl-pl, pt-br, pt-pt, ro-ro, ru-ru, sk-sk, sl-si, sr-latn-rs, sv-se, th-th, tr-tr, uk-ua, zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-tw. It doesn't install every single language, instead if checks what language you are using and extracts only the required files to save your disk space.
The Wordpad installer since version 2.0 not only extracts the files, but also does the following extra tasks:
Windows 11 provides by default a modern Notepad app with advanced features like tabs, auto-save documents, dark theme, a longer undo history, and much more. But yet many users prefer the classic Notepad without those enhancements. It works faster, starts faster, and more lightweight when it comes to system resources.
Here you can download the installer that adds the classic Notepad to Windows 11. It is built of genuine files from Windows 10 22H2 that aren't tampered with. The app can coexist with the modern one, and will be present in the Start menu, context menu in File Explorer, and can also have a desktop shortcut if you enable it in the installer.
This package containts both 32-bit and 64-bit files.
To work properly and handle file associations, you need to disable the app execution alias in Settings. When installing the Classic Notepad, you will be asked to open the Settings app, and turn off the alias manually. After that, the installer will register it for the classic app. So you'll be able to launch it as "notepad.exe" from the Run dialog. It will have the same interface language as your operating system, as it comes with MUI resources. Finally, it supports an uninstaller, so you can uninstall this classic Notepad app from the Settings > Apps > Installed apps.

But it doesn't install all available language files. Instead if checks what language you are using and extracts only the required files to save your drive space.
Starting in Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft replaced the classic desktop Sticky Notes app with a Universal app. For many users, the classic Desktop app is the more preferable option. It works faster, starts faster and has no Cortana integration.
Many prefer the good old classic Sticky Notes app because it consumes notably less system resources. It starts immediately and works much faster. The performance difference is especially visible on less powerful hardware like Atom and Celeron CPUs. The notes themselves are also a bit smaller, so users like their compact appearance more.
Here you can get the Classic Sticky Notes app for Windows 11 and Windows 10. This package fully supports Windows 11, as well as both Windows 10 32-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.

Introduction India, a nation of over 1.4 billion people, is a mosaic of languages, religions, cuisines, and customs. Yet, amidst this staggering diversity, the family remains the central, non-negotiable unit of social life. To understand India, one must first understand the rhythms, hierarchies, and emotional textures of its homes. This paper explores the quintessential Indian family lifestyle, moving beyond stereotypes to present the nuanced realities of daily life—from the pre-dawn chai to the late-night study sessions—illustrated through composite daily stories that reflect both tradition and rapid modernization. Part 1: The Structure and Philosophy of the Indian Family The Joint Family System: An Ideal, Not Always the Reality Traditionally, the ideal Indian family is a joint family ( sanyukta parivar ): multiple generations (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins) living under one roof, sharing a kitchen, a budget, and a collective identity. This system functions as a miniature welfare state—childcare, elder care, emergency loans, and emotional support are all internalized. However, urbanization and economic pressures have made the nuclear family (parents and children) increasingly common in cities. Still, even nuclear families remain “emotionally joint,” with daily phone calls, frequent visits, and financial interdependence. Hierarchy and Respect Respect for elders is sacrosanct. Age dictates seating arrangements, the order of eating, and who speaks first in decisions. Children address all elders as “uncle/auntie,” a practice that extends biological kinship to the community. The karta (usually the eldest male) historically held financial and decision-making power, though this is rapidly shifting as women earn and younger generations become tech-savvy advisors. Part 2: A Day in the Life – Three Portraits To capture the lifestyle, we follow three composite families: the Patels (rural farming joint family in Gujarat), the Iyers (urban middle-class nuclear family in Chennai), and the Khannas (upper-middle-class dual-earner family in Gurugram). Story 1: Dawn in Rural Gujarat – The Patel Household (Joint Family) 5:00 AM: The house stirs not with alarms, but with the sound of a steel tumbler being filled from the water filter. Bhabhi (eldest daughter-in-law, Radhika) lights the cow-dung stove. Her mother-in-law, though retired from heavy work, sits on a low stool, peeling garlic for the day’s kadhi . Radhika’s day has begun—she will make 20 rotis before breakfast.
Last week, their 15-year-old son, Rohan, confided in Neha that he feels anxious about board exams. She didn’t lecture. Instead, she booked a therapist online—a concept unthinkable to her own parents. That night, Amit announced he would take Rohan for a morning walk every day. The family is geographically nuclear, time-poor, and digitally saturated, but the emotional scaffolding remains: they have a “no-phone” dinner on Sundays, and every Diwali, the entire extended family (40+ people) rents a farmhouse.

The men return from the buffalo shed. Grandfather, 78, performs his puja (prayers) in a corner altar adorned with marigolds. The youngest son, Vijay, scrolls for crop prices on his smartphone—a striking juxtaposition of tradition and modernity. Breakfast is eaten in shifts: men first, then women after serving. No one eats alone. Introduction India, a nation of over 1
The afternoon heat is brutal. After the meal, the family rests. But Radhika uses this “quiet hour” to teach her daughter English using a free government app on Vijay’s phone. Meanwhile, the grandmother secretly gives Radhika a small gold earring—“for your daughter’s future”—a quiet act of female financial agency within the joint structure. However, urbanization and economic pressures have made the
Lunch. Priya eats alone at her office desk—a microwaved sambar-sadham (rice lentil stew) from last night’s dinner. She feels a pang of nostalgia for her grandmother’s house, where 15 people ate together on banana leaves. Yet, she also feels freedom: she can wear jeans, pursue a promotion, and decide her own schedule. The trade-off is loneliness.
(Suitable for a 5–7 page academic or informational paper)
As the sun sets, the entire family sits on the chabutra (raised platform). The news is on, but conversation dominates: a cousin’s wedding, the price of diesel, and a debate on whether the youngest son should take a job in Ahmedabad. A decision is made collectively—he will go, but send money home. This is the joint family’s adaptive strategy: mobility with allegiance. Story 2: Midday in Urban Chennai – The Iyer Nuclear Family 7:00 AM: Alarm rings. Priya Iyer, a software tester, wakes her two school-going children. Her husband, Venkat, prepares the tiffin —idlis and chutney. The morning is a choreographed rush. Priya’s mother, who lives 5 km away, video calls to ensure the children have taken their vitamins. Though a nuclear family, the “virtual joint family” is ever-present.
Windows 10 and Windows 8 assume that you use Task Manager for managing your startup apps. If you prefer to use the good old msconfig.exe tool for that, you must be aware that this feature is no longer included in Windows 10 and Windows 8. Here you can get classic msconfig.exe back in Windows 10 and Windows 8 that still includes the "Statup" option.
The installer inlcudes the classic msconfig.exe app with the startup tab in the msconfig UI so you will be able to manage your startup apps. It handles the "msconfig" command in the Run dialog. Also, it doesn't replace system files, instead it adds a new file, %windir%\system32\msconfig1.exe.
You can uninstall the app any time from Settings - Apps and features.
The Aurora screen saver for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7. It was shipped with Windows Vista but was removed in Windows 7 and higher.
The pack contains the Aurora screensaver for 32bit and 64bit Windows versions. Use the appropriate file. Note that the exe file is nothing more than just a handy GUI for the file copy operation.
The classic Paint (mspaint) app taken from Windows 10 Build 14393. You can install it on Windows 11 and enjoy the faster and more usable image editor than the built-in one. Another good thing is that this Paint app doesn't include the "Paint 3D" button and Store promotion.
You will be able to launch it as "mspaint.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar's search box or from the Start menu. No system files will be replaced. It will be installed alongside the default built-in Paint app.
You can even run them simultaneously. Just select the desired app shortcut from the Start menu, or launch both if you need. The Windows 10 version will be set as the default mspaint.exe app.
When installing, you'll be prompted to turn off the App execution alias in the Settings app. If you omit this step, you will have the default inbox mspaint.exe running by default.
Besides, the classic Paint will be integrated into Windows, so it will be available in the context menu of images. Also, you can set it as the default app for any of its supported formats.
It supports all Windows languages and locales, so its UI will be translated automatically. The installer detects what languages you have installed in your Windows, and will provide the appropriate MUI files automatically. It comes with the following locales:
af-za, am-et, ar-sa, as-in, az-latn-az, be-by, bg-bg, bn-bd, bn-in, bs-latn-ba, ca-es, ca-es-valencia, chr-cher-us, cs-cz, cy-gb, da-dk, de-de, el-gr, en-gb, en-us, es-es, es-ms, et-ee, eu-es, fa-ir, fi-fi, fil-ph, fr-ca, fr-fr, ga-ie, gd-gb, gl-es, gu-in, ha-latn-ng, he-il, hi-in, hr-hr, hu-hu, hy-am, id-id, ig-ng, is-is, it-it, ja-jp, ka-ge, kk-kz, km-kh, kn-in, ko-kr, kok-in, ku-arab-iq, ky-kg, lb-lu, lo-la, lt-lt, lv-lv, mi-nz, mk-mk, ml-in, mn-mn, mr-in, ms-my, mt-mt, nb-no, ne-np, nl-nl, nn-no, nso-za, or-in, pa-arab-pk, pa-in, pl-pl, prs-af, pt-br, pt-pt, quc-latn-gt, quz-pe, ro-ro, ru-ru, rw-rw, sd-arab-pk, si-lk, sk-sk, sl-si, sq-al, sr-cyrl-ba, sr-cyrl-rs, sr-latn-rs, sv-se, sw-ke, ta-in, te-in, tg-cyrl-tj, th-th, ti-et, tk-tm, tn-za, tr-tr, tt-ru, ug-cn, uk-ua, ur-pk, uz-latn-uz, vi-vn, wo-sn, xh-za, yo-ng, zh-cn, zh-tw, zu-za
Finally, you can uninstall it like any other app. Head up over Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Classic Paint, and uninstall it. This will revert all the changes to their defaults, and your default mspaint app will be the inbox app.
